Lee Toland Krieger, who received a Spirit Award screenplay nom for “The Vicious Kind,” is penning a script focusing on blue-collar resentment.

The deep sense of anger building within the working class who’ve all been affected by the overall financial, housing and health care crisis, and in a time of war…while the top 1% not only continue to get richer, but are rewarding themselves with bonuses is a pressure-cooker situation just waiting to explode,” Waugh said. “Detroit is the epicenter of that angst which makes it the perfect backdrop.”

Waugh wrote and directed the prison-set thriller “Felong,” starring Stephen Dorf, Sam Shepard, Harold Perrineau and Val Kilmer. Waugh is also set to direct “The Untitled Bobby Martinez Project” from a script he rewrote for Participant Media with State Street Pictures producing.
